Carrying a gun is a pain in the arse. There is no real comfortable position to carry one. Also, carrying a gun large enough to do you any good beyond 10’ makes it much worse. My carry weapon is a Ruger LCP .380. Small, but wildly inaccurate beyond 10’. I have big hands which makes it even harder to use the gun.

The LCP fits nicely in the back pocket. It's easy to get used to it IF/IF one wears it all the time, like one would carry a wallet. I figure that if I have to hit someone that is over 10" away, they are most likely not a major threat. I carry for self defense, not to get involved in a gun fight. These are just my thoughts, not that I am disagreeing with you. My daughter carries an LCP also and it is compact enough for most folks to carry it without a second thought. It's just my opinion, but I think the LCP is one of the best CCW pistols of choice, considering how easy it is to carry concealed.
